This kit is intended for purification of CD4 T cells from cell suspensions. Although it works on the principle of negative selection, it merely enriches the population instead of actually purifying it. My experience has given me lower levels of purity and I would only use it for enrichment followed by more stringent purification.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Enrichment of CD4 T cells

Starting Material

Cell Suspensions

Protocol Overview

Follow the kit protocol and separate your populations using the magnet.

Tips

Longer incubation times might help with purity, but this did not work every time that i did it.

Results Summary

The resulting population was enriched in CD4 T cells, but overall purity was between 60-80% as measured by Flow cytometry.

Additional Notes

None
